Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy API C++ Client Library

An idiomatic C++ client library for the Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy API , a service to control access to applications running on Google Cloud Platform.

While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do notfollow Semantic Versioning .

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/iap/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy API C++ client library API.

 #include "google/cloud/iap/v1/identity_aware_proxy_o_auth_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
    return 1;
  }

  namespace iap = ::google::cloud::iap_v1;
  auto client = iap::IdentityAwareProxyOAuthServiceClient(
      iap::MakeIdentityAwareProxyOAuthServiceConnection());

  google::cloud::iap::v1::ListBrandsRequest request;
  request.set_parent(google::cloud::Project(argv[1]).FullName());
  // ListBrands is not paginated, a single response includes all the "brands".
  auto response = client.ListBrands(request);
  if (!response) throw std::move(response).status();
  std::cout << response->DebugString() << "\n";

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}

Main classes

This library offers multiple *Client classes, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a gRPC service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple gRPC services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.

The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the *Client classes when testing your application.

Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.

The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and uses exponential backoff to backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
